Are you passionate about serving The Lord? Do you want to help guide spiritual growth and discipleship within a vibrant church community? Would you enjoy experiencing a slower pace of life in beautiful, rural northwestern Pennsylvania?

The Oak Grove Church, located near Mercer, has roots dating back to the 1850s. With a growing congregation of over 300, we are prayerfully seeking a full-time Associate Pastor and a full-time Young Life Pastor to lead and oversee ministries needed to help everyone—young to old—grow in their relationship with God.

The Oak Grove Church offers a special place to live where you can enjoy a sense of belonging and community. With close and easy access to major interstates, the area provides a perfect blend of small-town appeal and accessibility to urban conveniences. As Associate Pastor or Young Life Pastor, you can experience the best of both worlds while fostering deep connections, inspiring spiritual growth, and contributing to a welcoming and genuine church community.

The foundational principle of The Oak Grove Church, “Knowing Christ and Making Him Known,” has been and continues to be a driving force in our ministry. Following Wesleyan Arminian doctrine, we are focused on evangelizing the lost, edifying the saved, ministering to those in need, and being a conscience in the community.

Consider these exciting opportunities at the Oak Grove Church if you:

  • Have a love for people and a love for ministry
  • Are proficient in biblical exposition
  • Have clear and effective communication skills, both written and verbal
  • Have a passion for serving and equipping others in ministry tasks
  • Are interested in impacting lives, fostering growth, and nurturing a community rooted in a relationship with Jesus

By leading spiritual development, collaborating with volunteers and staff, and contributing impactful teaching and ministry leadership aligned with the church’s mission and vision, you can make a real impact on the lives of individuals in the community.

The Oak Grove Church offers a competitive compensation and benefits package based on qualifications and experience, including opportunities for professional development and ministry training.
